LIBERATED CRIMINALS.
The President PardOns ThOs. Ballard the
Notorious COunte'feiter, and several
Others for Minor Offences.

WASHINGTON, June ~.
The President has acted upon applications
for pardon of a number OF convicted crimi-
nails.
The most important case is that of Thos.
Ballard, the notorious counterfeiter, SEN
fenced January 2I, 1875, to thirty years i'm
prisonment in The Albany penitentiary for
engraving and having in his possession coun-
terfeit plates, notes, etc
The President granted him pardon. In
endorsing tie application he says the prisoner
has grown to be an old man broken down
physically and mentally. His wife, who has
c.ung to him with true woman's devotion all
these wears and who has almost worn herself
cut in her efforts to support and educate her
daughter, just now reaching womanhood,
pleads tor her erring and penitent husbands
release.
1t is the universal belief on the part of
those acquainted with the case, that the pris.
oner's reformation is complete and tnat in NO
way could this broken down man, whose
mind is fast giving way with his body, be a
menace to society if liberated.
am of the opinion that in this case the
law has been fully indicated.
The President has also pardoned number
of other criminals convicted for minor Of
fences.
